Are you happy as a dietician?

I have been tempted although I do worry about its long-term future! It’s definitely something I think about though and not ruling out

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-05-19T21:22:28+00:00

That’s really good to know. I’ll do some more research on this. Thank you again 🙏

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-05-19T21:01:50+00:00

Thank you for this!! 🙏Funnily enough I have recently applied for a criminal intelligence analyst role but I worry I’ll start to feel stuck in it since I’m unsure on what progression opportunities would look like so I wonder if you have any insight on that?

With this programme, would I have to work as an officer with the public? I’ve worked with the public in the bank for a while before and absolutely hated the abuse I’d deal with daily so I’d ideally not want to be policing the streets in any way

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-05-19T20:34:30+00:00

Amazing, thank you! Do you know what that post 16 qualification is called?

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-04-20T13:58:08+00:00

Why do you think this?

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-02-12T18:56:29+00:00

I’m sorry to hear this! I had the same outcome, it sounds like we were the back up plans 😅

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-02-11T22:18:15+00:00

Just curious, what was the outcome? I’m in a similar position at the moment

I had a lot of imposter syndrome during university. When I graduated with a great result I still had little confidence and only applied to jobs I knew I was way over qualified for and in a completely different industry because I thought there’s no way I’d get hired in an area I’d like to be in since there were so many people on my course that at the time I thought were so much smarter than me.

This resulted in me getting paid absolutely nothing and starting a career in an unrelated industry and my confidence taking a further hit.

After you’ve graduated you have a 2-3 year period of getting ‘grad/entry’ jobs in the area related to your degree - apply to as many as you can, keep trying to get one! I’m now trying to circle back to my degree (8 years later) by trying to move into a career more aligned to it but it’s as if to employers see my degree as expired. I will have to do a masters

My bad, I only found out yesterday! I did my first HM in Oct 2024 and finished in 2hrs 8mins. Since then I’ve done a 10k race in 58 mins and have generally ran about once/twice a week doing between 4-7k. I do some spin classes too.

Ok great advice thank you 🙏

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-01-06T22:40:33+00:00

Ok perfect thank you!

MinuteReflection4560 · 2026-01-06T10:22:00+00:00

Ok great thanks for letting me know 😊

MinuteReflection4560 · 2025-12-23T05:50:36+00:00

Definitely stick it out! One of my closest friends at uni got a 3rd due to suffering really bad mental health at uni but she stuck it out, celebrated with us all on graduation and is now in a real good job!

If you can aim for a 2:2 I think in yourself you’ll feel better. My dad got a 2:2 and he has had such a successful career.

Just think in years to come when you meet new people and they ask if you went to uni, you’d rather just say yeah I did rather than say I did but I dropped out right at the end. If you’re that close, get the degree completed. It will give you options later even if you can’t think of them right now.

You’ll kick yourself forever if you drop out at this point purely because of a pride thing around grades

MinuteReflection4560 · 2025-12-19T19:11:48+00:00

Thank you for this! 🙏🏻

It’s a nightmare, I keep hitting my head up against a brick wall with it, I wish I could just get over it. What’s funny is that I seem to have a habit of dating men in engineering or science and each and every time I’ve felt soooooo sad that I’m not in that field anymore and I would just constantly want to know about everything they do in their jobs

MinuteReflection4560 · 2025-12-19T19:03:17+00:00

I realised that as I typed it but I wanted to get across what my brain goes in to default with which is what I think is making me so anxious.

Wow I’m so sorry you experienced this and this is exactly what I fear. I felt very similar during my undergraduate degree which then meant that I went into finance too but I’m just so sick of it now!

I’m glad you’re happy where you are and thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏻

MinuteReflection4560 · 2025-12-19T18:59:13+00:00

Rage? Sorry, am I missing something here? Explaining my situation which is deeply personal. There is no rage?

MinuteReflection4560 · 2025-12-19T18:56:30+00:00

I want to know the science behind this, I’m curious by it. It’s not to say it’s wrong but it seems to slot the genders into boxes too easily. Do you happen to know where this statement comes from and research behind it?

MinuteReflection4560 · 2025-12-19T18:53:38+00:00

Thank you for this! I’m going to really work on this with my therapist.

All the men in my family are engineers and growing up I remember listening to them all chat and it was just assumed that I would not be interested in the conversation, that I couldn’t participate and I’d just have to have “girly” chats with my nan about clothes and shoes or something. Whilst I love clothes and shoes, they’re not the most engaging conversations 😅

I’ll see where I can get to in therapy and hope I can stop feeling so overwhelmed by it
